Strike, the third novel in the series, focuses on Spencer Jones, Aiden's teammate, he's young, attractive, and definitely enjoying the spoils of motor cross, with women falling at his feet. His life is work, motorcross and plenty of no strings attached nights with available women and it seems to be suiting him, until he meets April.
April, self confessed tomboy, lover of high adrenaline sports, motorbike rider, from the second Spencer lays eyes on her he's hooked. April is direct, funny, confident and stunning, she immediately pushes him to be more, to prove himself worthy of a chance with her.
While these characters are both so outwardly confident, what I adored so much is that they both question themselves, question their professions, their choices, their pasts. I connected so deeply with April, I felt with such painful clarity her questioning herself, if she is enough, because I've struggled with that too, I've asked myself the same question. The more I read, the more I fell in love with her, with her spirit, her tenacity - reading Strike, experiencing it, was freeing in a way few books have been for me.
Ryder paces this story perfectly, it had my attention from the first page to the last lines, without a doubt Strike is Jennifer's best work to date, from the dedication I knew this story was going to be special, my expectations were high and Ryder did not disappoint.
After a very intriguing (I'd love the details of this Ms. Ryder *ahem*) prologue, we're thrown right into the story of Spencer and April. It starts like a typical boy meets girl story, but neither character is quite typical.
Spencer is a financial consulting, suit wearing, responsible and boring type by day. It's not the life he wants, it's the life he's been guilted into living. His dreams lie in Motocross. His passion is there, it's the life he gets only on limited occasions and it's the only dream he's ever had.
He's also a man whore. The Manwhore of Motocross. Not even a one night stand type of guy..he's more a screw 'em and kick them out type. No overnighters, no do-overs, no commitments. Not ever.
April knows what it's like to come in second. To not be the prize at the end of the race. Being set aside one too many times has made her live free but keep strong walls on her heart. Problem is, her live life to the fullest attitude comes with a strong sexual appetite and that appetite wants Spencer as the main course.
She doesn't relent easily though. April is the tease of all teasers but upfront about it and with good reason. They way she holds Spencer off is adorable because you understand why she is doing it. It isn't a form of torture, she isn't giving him false promises. The fun loving, independent, dare devil self is petrified to fall too fast and get burned.Read more ›
I'll be the first to admit. Couldn't stand Jones. Wanted nothing to do with him while reading about him in Spike and then to find out he gets his own story – let's just say, wasn't thrilled. And true to his form, his emotional detachment to anything remotely to do with a relationship is blindingly obvious.
Now, let's get to April. I get why the author says she'd turn for April, totally understand what she means. I think there's a beautiful fragility to April's character that it's hard for anyone to not to also fall in love with her. I love how she calls all the shots when it comes to Spencer. She really did make the boy into a man.
The writing in this book is seamless. I love the wit from the characters – even when they are in their turmoil – the writing hits your right in the heart and I was waiting for him to walk after April finally allowed him completely into her life but I'm glad to say – he didn't. If anything, he fought the good fight and came out on top. Like I said – he's a man now. The love triangle is well written even though we all know who is the owner of April's heart.
The way Ryder brings in characters is another strength for her. Their introductions are seamless and they add to the variety and complexity of each book.
I bought my own copy of this book. This can be read as a standalone but where's the fun in that? Strike is book three in the series following Spark and Spike.

'Warcraft' Strikes a Mighty Blow With Full-Length Trailer
Legendary Pictures has unveiled the first full-length trailer for Duncan Jones' adaptation of the bestselling video game franchise.
Legendary Pictures has unveiled the first full-length trailer for Duncan Jones' adaptation of the bestselling video game franchise.
Three new stills have been released from Duncan Jones' upcoming "Warcraft" film adaptation.
Director Duncan Jones and the orcs and humans of "Warcraft" discussed Legendary's film adaptation of the massively popular video game in San Diego.
"True Blood" alum Robert Kazinsky portrays Orgrim Doomhammer in director Duncan Jones' adaptation of the popular video game series.
The cast of HBO's True Blood entertained fans at Comic-Con International with a sneak peek at this season's remaining episodes, and a discussion of where their characters stand.
Behind-the-scenes video shows how director Guillermo del Toro and his crew transformed downtown Toronto into Tokyo for the upcoming robots-versus-monsters film Pacific Rim.
Director Noam Murro's still-untitled follow-up to the 2007 blockbuster 300 will open Aug. 2, 2013, going up against two other comics-based movies: the sequels to The Smurfs and RED. Warner Bros. also carved out May 10, 2013, for Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro's hotly anticipated giant-monster movie.

Greensleeves Records once again opens the largest vaults in the whole of Reggae music and what they bring forth this time is a release that you might've thought the UK based giant had already gotten around to. 'Nice Up The Dance: UK Bubblers 1984-87' is a double disc compilation spanning thirty-six tracks in all and it features some of the biggest and most classic names from the UK Reggae and Dancehall scene across the past two decades.
Big time artists such as Tippa Irie (who checks in with no less than eight selections), the late Deborahe Glasgow, Pato Banton and Peter Spence are certain to grab the lion's share of attention, but hardcore fans will certainly tune in on classic tunes from names such as the sweet singing Tannoi, Annette B, Ricky Tamlin and others.
This is one clearly for the collectors crowd, new and old, who will surely eat this one up for some of the more hard to find pieces here. They won't have to wait very long either because 'Nice Up The Dance: UK Bubblers 1984-87' is in stores right now.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

A second look reveals that not only are they right this time, but AMD has the fully DX11 compliant 40nm silicon to prove it. Sure the current generation of GPUs from AMD can do tessellation in benchmarks, but no games support the technology. With DX11 we will finally see the arrival of tessellation as well as some other interesting improvements. You can find pict

KSSOLV—a MATLAB toolbox for solving the Kohn-Sham equations
Kohn¿Sham equations
In quantum chemistry, specifically density functional theory, the Kohn¿Sham equation is the Schrödinger equation of a fictitious system (the "Kohn¿Sham system") of non-interacting particles (typically electrons) that generate the same density as any given system of interacting particles. The Kohn¿Sham equation is defined by a local effective (fictitious) external potential in which the non-interacting particles move, typically denoted as vs(r) or veff(r), called the Kohn¿Sham potential.

MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language. Developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, Java, and Fortran.

Electron configuration
In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the distribution of electrons of an atom or molecule (or other physical structure) in atomic or molecular orbitals. For example, the electron configuration of the neon atom is 1s 2s 2p.

Quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics (QM - also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a branch of physics dealing with physical phenomena where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. Quantum mechanics departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic and subatomic length scales. QM provides a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter.

more from Wikipedia
A molecule is an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by covalent chemical bonds. Molecules are distinguished from ions by their lack of electrical charge. However, in quantum physics, organic chemistry, and biochemistry, the term molecule is often used less strictly, also being applied to polyatomic ions. In the kinetic theory of gases, the term molecule is often used for any gaseous particle regardless of its composition.
more from Wikipedia
Solid is one of the three classical states of matter. It is characterized by structural rigidity and resistance to changes of shape or volume. Unlike a liquid, a solid object does not flow to take on the shape of its container, nor does it expand to fill the entire volume available to it like a gas does. The atoms in a solid are tightly bound to each other, either in a regular geometric lattice or irregularly.

Public Deeds: Gigs and Garlands
Published: Monday, March 10, 2014 at 2:38 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 10, 2014 at 2:38 a.m.
On this day in 1977 and in 2006, two events connected to space took place.
In 1977, the rings of Uranus were discovered on this day by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham and Douglas J. Mink. They made the discovery using the Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory. It used infrared astronomy with a telescope and observation platform built into a Lockheed C-141A Starlifter, a large military jet transport airplane operated by NASA.
Within a year of the discovery, nine rings had been identified. The count now is 13 rings.
In 2006, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter achieved orbit around the fourth planet. The orbiter contains a number of cameras and spectrometers, and radar, to study the land, minerals and ice of Mars, among other features.
Its HiRise high-resolution camera is the largest taken on a deep-space mission. The camera is a 0.5-meter reflecting telescope. Among its spectacular uses has been photographing spaceships as they parachute to the surface.
Today's gigs and garlands will focus on Earth-related matters.
GIG: To the city of Mulberry for allowing records of the city clerk to fall into disarray and stay that way from 2002 until present.
A garland, however, to the city for commissioning an audit of the clerk's files by consultant Annadele d'Ecclesiis of Lakeland.
The consultant said City Clerk Vanessa Baker's files use a filing system that is dysfunctional, has missing documents, and contains conflicts between city ordinances and minutes of City Commission meetings, reported The Ledger's Suzie Schottelkotte in an article Wednesday.
An example provided by d'Ecclesiis in her report is, "Engineering agreements for consulting services for the city are filed under 'A' because the title of the document is 'Agreement for Professional Civil Engineering & Surveying Services.'?"
City Manager Rick Johnson put Baker on paid administrative leave the day after the report was released, reported Schottelkotte on Thursday.
Johnson said he put Baker on leave because he wanted to see files in the state left by Baker, "as close to the way they were at the time of the audit, to ensure they reflect what is being reported."
The file system must be replaced and Baker should be, too, d'Ecclesiis said. "It is my opinion that this commitment and capacity cannot be achieved or sustained by the current city clerk."
Baker, 51, has worked for the city since 1981 and became clerk in 2000. She is paid $57,657 per year.
GARLAND: To Fantasy of Flight, between Auburndale and Polk City, alongside Interstate 4, for the joy it has given to airplane enthusiasts during its 18 years of operation.
Kermit Weeks, a well-known flier and aircraft collector — much of the attraction's exhibition is made up of his collection — announced Tuesday that Fantasy of Flight would close April 6, reported The Ledger's Eric Pera in an article Wednesday.
"I turned 60 last year and the clock is ticking; it's time to move on," Weeks said. "So the bottom line is, instead of focusing on a business that quite honestly is not sustainable, I can focus my energy and resources toward a dream that will sustain."
Weeks said he plans to build on his event business and work on ideas for a new attraction.
GIG: To the Florida High School Athletic Association for taking away from The Lakeland Center the boys and girls state high school basketball tournaments. Lakeland must now bid for the tournaments, after hosting them for the past 19 years, reported The Ledger's Rick Brown and Bill Rufty in an article Feb. 27.
FHSAA Executive Director Roger Dearing said the organization feels "like we're not welcomed here."
He complained about legislation from a Lakeland state lawmaker that has targeted the athletic organization. However, he did not name the legislator.
"Lakeland had a three-year contract with the ability to roll forward another two years, and we have declined to do that," Dearing said.
While recent FHSAA-related legislation has been heavy-handed, so is the organization's action against The Lakeland Center.
The proverb "two wrongs don't make a right" applies.

I loved watching Amos & Andy on black & white TV. I was disappointed when some labeled it "racists" because one of the actors wore black-face. To me, it is excellent comedy just as the Stooges and Laurel & Hardy, Abbot & Costello, etc.Another disappointment was when they took the black woman wearing a bandanna off the pancake box. I see black women in my neighborhood frequently wearing bandannas. What the hell is racists about an item of clothing? Silly people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCwVW_lOdkM
...er, 'jeeps' of course :(
There's a fine traditions of glowworms in the Romantic poets - Blake, Wordworth, etc. I did a college paper on them - your post pushed the nostalgia button.Quad
How old are you Pork?When I was a kid, the big black woman in Tom and Jerry spoke with an Aunt Gemina voice.I was just watching with my nephew and she speaks Midwestern English now.
Same goes for the movie Song of the South, Uncle Remus, Brer Rabbit etc. The best childs movie put in the archives because now its racial. But TV has almost become porno but thats okay.
Yes. Better sex on TV than racism or violence.
pork, i don't think any actors on tv's amos'n'andy wore blackface. no?
You're correct. There were no white actors in the television version. Claims were made that the television show portrayed some blacks as "slow" and other as devious. Based on these allegations, that's all she wrote.
I agree about the bandanna .... my mother wore one when cleaning even though she was white. I think poor people of that era worn those ... means nothing.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE SITE; Architects, Planners and Residents Wonder How to Fill the Hole in the City
By KIRK JOHNSON and CHARLES V. BAGLI
Published: September 26, 2001
The destruction of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 cut a huge hole in the fabric of New York City. But already, even as the grief and mourning go on, the city's wound is becoming a kind of repository of ideas about what the site, and the city around it, should become.
Proposals range from the grandiose and ambitious to the small and intimate. Some business leaders argue for a crash-course construction project that would replace lost office space for corporations displaced by the disaster. Others say rebuilding at the trade center site must be sensitive, above all else, to the human losses, with a memorial incorporated as part of the very essence of the design.
But there is nearly universal agreement among people in fields as diverse as economics, urban planning, security and ethics that New York is about to encounter a question that few great cities have ever faced: What is to be done with an immensely valuable piece of land that is crucial to the local economy, but which has also become hugely important -- indeed almost spiritual -- to people in New York and around the world?
One idea put forward in recent days would make the trade center site a new home for that ultimate Wall Street symbol, the New York Stock Exchange, a home that could also include the American Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Another developer has proposed a ring of 50-story towers. Urban planners and economic development experts say that improving transportation to downtown, by adding rail connections, should be a priority.
But for now, every idea is just that -- words and arguments. The architects, planners, builders and corporate executives who have put out proposals have done so almost into thin air. No process exists yet to act on any because the machinery to begin even sorting through the ideas has yet to be built, and state and city officials have differing notions of how much control each will bring to bear on what is conceived, and then built.
But the framework for that process -- the different sorts of intellectual and emotional components that will be involved in rebuilding at the site -- are coming into place, development experts say. And here, too, the questions are many and difficult.
Is the World Trade Center site still purely a place of trade and business, as that part of Manhattan has been since the 1600's, or does it now belong, in a way, to the world -- or to the families of the victims in the disaster -- with new obligations about what happens there? How should New York, in thinking about what is to come, weigh the needs of its businesses and residents alongside the global statement that redevelopment will make about New York in the 21st century?
Underlying all those questions is one that millions of people are also asking themselves: What kind of city is New York now, in the aftermath of the attacks?
''We're going to have to invent something entirely new here, and it's going to mean rethinking the ways we use the city,'' said Richard Sennett, a sociologist and Manhattan resident who is also the chairman of the Cities Program, an urban design program at the London School of Economics.
The still-evolving ideas about the trade center range from the immediate and concrete to the long-term and conceptual. One plan being pushed by the former president of the State Urban Development Corporation, Richard A. Kahan, would combine a new home for the New York Stock Exchange with a major cultural element, perhaps a big part of the Guggenheim Museum. The combination, he argues, would acknowledge and capture the broader place that downtown has become.
Professor Sennett and others say that a memorial to the victims must be the first element on the drawing board, and that the commercial use should then be adapted to that vision. The transformed human meaning of the World Trade Center site, they say, has become the driving force.
Some people are arguing for an international design competition that would produce something emblematic of a global city. Others favor an emphasis on local ideas to embody New York at its most distinctive.
In order to get going on the rethinking and rebuilding, some have called for the creation of a powerful new government agency led by the state that could cut through the ordinary approvals system and expedite the redevelopment; others contend that the wounds of the disaster are so deep that a broad conceptual effort giving a say to city residents and the families of victims, even if it slows down the rebuilding process, must be a priority.
Most experts on the downtown economy agree that simply replacing lost office space with new buildings would be a pallid response to the disaster, and that the opportunity must be seized to rethink the city's needs, from transportation to new work and life patterns, modern telecommunications and, of course, the threat of global terrorism.
The trade towers, they say, were conceived in the 1960's in an era of moon shots and urban renewal. The city has moved on.
''This tragedy has given us an opportunity to rethink and rebuild all of Lower Manhattan,'' said John E. Zuccotti, a former city planning chairman and deputy mayor who heads the company that owns the World Financial Center near the trade center site. But it will take, he added, ''political leadership, compromise, planning and public-private cooperation at a pace unprecedented in the history of the city and state.''
One major element of that rethinking centers on Lower Manhattan's transportation needs.

Public Awareness: associations are building on NAR's national efforts to CRAFT Local Image Campaigns.
Around the country, associations large and small are building on the momentum of NAR's national awareness campaign, using local radio, print media, and television to put their own spin on things.
More associations that rely on e-mail communication with members are finding that their messages are being blocked, bounced, or filtered as spam.
As associations begin eliminating paper communications and moving important functions such as voting, education, and meetings to an online environment, the problem with blocked e-mails is causing great concern. After all, how can Realtors® and consumers make the move toward online transactions when they can't even ensure that e-mail is being delivered?
You have great ideas for your association—new services, high-tech solutions, and sweeping reorganization plans. But how do you get staff and stakeholders to buy into your vision and support you along the way? Here are 10 strategies to keep in mind for implementing changes effectively.
1. Act quickly.
Communicate impending changes as soon as possible. That way, the rumor mill won't have a chance to grind out stories that aren't true.
2. Explain the decision.
All association executives expect their staff to provide good customer service, consistently, yet few have a customer service policy. A written policy unites the association behind the common goal of fulfilling customer service and explains exactly how to achieve that goal.
Studies show that the presence or absence of a written customer service policy creates substantive differences in the way employees view the importance of customer service.
Below are 13 best practices in customer service you can include in your association's customer service policy.
Whether your Realtor® association serves 400 or 14,000 members, part of its regular function is to field complaints from both members and their customers. If handled properly, those complaints become valuable customer service tools.
"While you're in the midst of a telephone call with an irate customer, it may be hard to view the complaint as a gift, but that's precisely what it is," says Keith Bailey, founder of the Sterling Consulting Group and coauthor of the book Customer Service for Dummies.
Minority awareness: associations use innovative approaches to attract minority buyers and multicultural members.
NAR's new Diversity Assistance Program (DAP) recognized 17 Realtor associations in 2004 with grants to help fund their outreach efforts to minority consumers and bring more cultural diversity into association membership and leadership.

Rep. Keith Ellison celebrates Purple Rain's 30th anniversary with acoustic cover
Purple Rain meets Rep. Keith Ellison
Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison can't believe it has been 30 years since the release of Prince's iconic Purple Rain movie soundtrack.
Ellison's love of cultural expression on the acoustic guitar has long been a part of his interactions with the public. Notably, he covered Woody Guthrie last year when Minnesota legalized same-sex marriage. Now he's taken to Vine to recall the title track from Prince's film.

"@MorningBriefing: @MoElleithee @PeterHambyCNN @keithellison That's "sorrow", not problems,Just FYI". Call it artistic interpretation.
-- Rep. Keith Ellison (@keithellison) June 25, 2014
Purple fever has also spread to New York's 14th Congressional District as well. Here, Rep. Joe Crowley has recorded a response to Ellison. He's a bigger fan of "Raspberry Beret" off Around the World in a Day, released in 1985. Save that energy for next year, congressman!

Hotel Staff should be lower level vs other hotelsPosted Jul 11, 2016
I asked hotel staff to bring nail cutter & opener, however they said that nail cutter is not available and I am required to go to bar to ask open. I bought bottle of beer at front desk and it needs to be open by opener only. Hotel should prepare the opener for their customer. I have had good impression regarding Hilton Garden Inn based upon my experiences at other places, however I have been disappointed with this location at San Francisco.

Distant from a main areasPosted Jul 4, 2016
Only one restuarant nearby. Closes beach you could get to from here is 9miles and very small at that. To get here on city transport is hectic unless u out have a car or constantly Uber/lyft ($$). No big pool only a small hot tub. Pricey bar and in dinning in hotel.

very bad experiencePosted Jun 23, 2016
Awaken by noices from top floor at 5AM and some construction noices at around 7. Front desk lady was rude when we checked in saying we couldn't park at the back if we don't pay with loud tone. Called me "that guy".

TerriblePosted Jun 5, 2016
Staff was neither polite nor accomodating. Would not grant a late check-out unless i was able to locate a loyalty acct number. I definitely have one because i am incessantly barraged with their hhonors spam, but of course cant find the number. I was also advised & assured that I had a zero balance upon check-in and check-out, but then they proceeded to charge me for the room four days after leaving, and added a 25 dollar "deposit" charge for each room. Not sure what the hell a "deposit" charge is for... but i'm it's just a way to deceptively raise the rate for the room. The location was the only thing pisitive... find another place to stay

Businessman type hotelPosted May 25, 2016
My only negative observation would be that there was no luggage assistance, from a Hilton I think this would be a service they should offer, otherwise the hotel was fine

The location was perfect for us. Rooms, while not huge, were comfortable and clean. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Störande TrafikPosted May 25, 2016
Pros: Fitnessrummet riktigt bra. Trevlig personal
Cons: Hotellet behöver renovera.
Hotellet ligger tyvärr alldeles intill en korsning vilket gjorde att vi stördes av ljud. Bilparkering per dag $15. Inga bra restauranger i närheten.

Harmony City Council: Street lights and storm sewers
Mon, Mar 16th, 2009
Posted in Government
Posted in Government
The Harmony City Council meeting was called to order by Mayor Steve Donney at 7:08 p.m. on Tuesday, March 10, 2009.
Present at the meeting were City Attorney, Richard Nethercut, Councilperson, Sherry Hines, Councilperson, Gerald Shuck, Councilmember, Debbie Scrabeck, Mayor, Steve Donney, Deputy Clerk, Eileen Schansberg, Councilmember, Dan Tieffenbacher, City Administrator, Jerome Illg, Public Works Superintendent, Brian Johnson and Street Superintendent, Chris Johnson. There were no members of the public present.
Along with reviewing and approving minutes and financials, the board spent the majority of time discussing the following items:
City Council Claims Reviewed
There was discussion about repair costs of $673.48 for seven street lights, which were damaged. City Administrator, Jerome Illg, believed the damage was caused by State Highway employees when blowing snow. Nobody knows for sure.
Councilperson Gerald Shuck asked that Jerome Illg contact the Minnesota Department of Transportation to see if they caused the damage to the street lights and therefore are responsible for paying for damages. Jerome agreed to follow-up and report back to the council at the April meeting.
Sheriff's Report
January and February activity reports were presented at the meeting.
Park Board Report
It was reported that the Park Board approved naming Sherry Hines as Secretary. Councilmember, Dan Tieffenbacher also stated that Miles Petree will be appointed to serve on the Park Board upon approval from the Mayor. Mr. Petree will need to be present for that appointment.
Administrator's Report
Jerome Illg, City Administrator, attended NIMS-400 (National Incident Management System) training for two days, reporting on the insurance renewal information for 2009 and 2010.
Illg also reported that he was finalizing information for the annual audit, with anticipation of the Board of Review arriving the week of March 16.
Council members reviewed a proposed Storm Sewer Ordinance based on a discussion at the February meeting. Electricity will be increasing in a few months. Councilmember Debbie Scrabeck challenged the approach of charging based on runoff factor, noting concerns of adding a greater tax burden to Harmony residents.
The Harmony City Council is considering the Storm Sewer Utility fee as a result of decreasing Local Government Aide, according to City Administrator, Jerome Illg.
With the introduction of the Storm Sewer Utility fee, around $6,500, averaging $1.00 per resident per month would be generated over a 12-month period. Commercial properties would pay a higher amount, still under consideration, to meet the funding goal of $6,500. The storm water drainage fee would be on a per parcel basis, determined by multiplying a parcel's runoff factor (RF) by the storm water utility rate. The RF values for various land uses are cited below.
The council further discussed creating a 3rd classification based on frontage. Council members voted for a motion to revisit the Storm Sewer Ordinance at the April regular meeting.
Land Sale
The council discussed how much land was retained after the sale of city property to Hammell Equipment. The determination was 55.1 feet of frontage.
Other Business
City Administrator, Jerome Illg reported that the Board of Review will occur at 7:00 p.m. on April 7, 2009.
Mayor Steve Donney revisited the "Open Forum" subject to encourage the public to come to meetings and share their thoughts. While anyone would be entitled to come to a meeting and express concerns or ideas prior to the beginning of the regular meeting, visitors of the meetings would need to request to have an item added to the agenda in advance of the meeting to have their concerns or ideas included as a part of the regular monthly meeting.
The meeting was adjourned.

The haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) includes the triad of haemolytic anaemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. The classical form [D(+) HUS] is caused by infectious agents, and it is a common cause of acute renal failure in children. The enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli-producing Shiga toxin (Stx) is the most common infectious agent causing HUS. Other infectious agents are Shigella and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Infections by S. pneumoniae can be particularly severe and has a higher acute mortality and a higher long-term morbidity compared to HUS by Stx. Atypical HUS [D(−)Stx(−)HUS] are often used by paediatricians to indicate a presentation of HUS without preceding diarrhoea. Almost all patients with D(−)Stx(−)HUS have a defect in the alternative pathway, for example, mutations in the genes for complement factor H, factor I, and membrane co-factor protein. Mutations in the factor H gene are described more often. The majority of children with D(+) HUS develop some degree of renal insufficiency, and approximately two thirds of children with HUS will require dialysis therapy, while about one third will have milder renal involvement without the need for dialysis therapy. General management of acute renal failure includes appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, antihypertensive therapy, and the initiation of renal replacement therapy when appropriate. Specific management issues in HUS include management of the haematological complications of HUS, monitoring for extra-renal involvement, avoiding antidiarrhoeal drugs, and possibly avoiding of antibiotic therapy. In addition to the obligatory supportive treatment and tight control of hypertension, there is anecdotal evidence that plasma therapy may induce remission and, in some cases, maintain it. Fresh frozen plasma contains factor H at physiological concentrations. A new therapy for D(−)Stx(−)HUS is a humanised monoclonal antibody (Eculizumab) that blocks complement activity by cleavage of the complement protein C5. It prevents the generation of the inflammatory peptide C5a and the cytotoxic membrane–attack complex C5b-9. We have first positive results, but it is still not approved for HUS.

Product Details
Our Elsie pumps really make an impression. With a just-right height, a slightly curved heel and a perfectly pointed toe, they're versatile and stylish at the same time. The fact that they're made in Italy is just the icing on the cake.
Size & Fit Details
Elsie suede pumps
Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 82 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flibbertygibbit Perfection! I received these in Kraft brown and they are fantastic! It's a great neutral color. The toe point is reinforced on the bottom, ensuring longevity. I cannot stress how comfortable these are right out of the box. IRL I take a size 7. I ordered my typical Crew size of 7.5 (same size as I took in the Everly, Etta, and Cece). The toe box is perfection, ever so slightly wider than my other Crew heels. I will not have to stretch these like I've had to with the others. No pinching! There is some slight padding at the ball of the foot which makes it even more comfortable. And no heel slippage which, again, I usually have to deal with. Congratulations to the design department for this iteration and getting it so right! A hearty thumbs up! July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnabellePug Very nice! I ordered these pumps in blue, strawberry and silver metallic and I am overall very pleased with the fit and style. I take my normal J. Crew size of 6.5 and they fit perfectly without any stretching required. This is definitely a step up from the Everly, as the longer length and higher heel elongate the legs further. I am surprised that despite the Elsie being half an inch higher than the Everly, the comfort level is identical. The only thing I like to remark is that the strawberry color looks more like orange in real person, as opposed to red. Other than that, these heels can rival the really high end Premier brands which cost at least twice as much. Well done, J. Crew! July 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tk8115 Perfection! J Crew does it again with these amazing pumps. True to size, and comfortable! Excellent quality, the color (deep violet - more blue than purple) is gorgeous. Just what I've been wanting! June 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Lilac007 Beautiful soft suede but no padding on ball area As a true size 7, I ordered the rose blush in size 7. The rose blush color is not neon; soft to the eyes. Beautiful! The suede is SO SOFT! Once they were on, the fit on my right foot was spot on but on my left, my small toes were screaming with cramp so need to order a half-size up. My bunions didn't scream for pain. I strutted for about 5 minutes on a carpeted floor then I experienced ball of foot pain! There is inevitable "OUCH" in every second I have them on! When I inspected them more, the Elsies don't have much padding on the ball of foot area. This is very disappointing since these are apparently made in Italy and for a pair of high heels, I was expecting them to be very padded. I am expecting better design when it comes to comfort. Unfortunately, I had to return the Elsies. For the high price, I expected comfort. I own Italian-made high-heeled shoes and they are comfortable. These are definitely NOT up to par with my Italian-made/designed shoes. May 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by EJCG THE Classic pump is here Look no further, these are it! Perfect for work and sexy with jeans. Classic can be hip and Elsie is proof! I have them in several colors and the only complaint is I wish they came in kid leather. I will admit that the slightly shorter heel of the old Everly was a tad more comfortable, although you had to size up because the toe box was shorter. You will regret not getting more colors. I have wanted to try treating my suede with a water repellant spray, but have been afraid it may stain but I use a suede cleaning kit that comes with brush (very lightly!) and eraser for stains which works pretty well.

How to Take Absorptive Surfaces into Account When Designing Outdoor Sound Reinforcement Systems
When sound reinforcement systems are used outdoors, absorptive surfaces are usually present along the propagation path of the sound. This may lead to a very significant coloration of the spectrum received by the audience. The coloration depends on the location and directivity of the loudspeaker, the nature of the absorptive surface (e.g., grass), and the location of the audience.

Project Description
I need a script that makes it possible to create input forms that will pass through to a second site in the background.
A check box will be checked in order to activate this task.
Example: Website A has a form that requires name, address, date of birth and the submit button. Near the form is a check box asking permission to hear about another offer. Once they hit submit, their info is passed through to a second site that also asks for name, address, and date of birth. Once submitted the second site closes out in the background.
So essentially I need a script that will allow a special form to be created that once submitted will also auto fill another site with similar fields (radio button, drop down, etc.)
Admin should be able to choose the field name, field type, and the URL of the site that the info will pass on to.
